The early 20s relatively clean living touch butt in the park Conor had a different brain than the late 20s alcoholic cokehead Conor thats been ko’ed twice. Years of going on alcohol and cocaine benders will end your career as a quick tongued witty guy.
Sbg sucks. Jkd sucks
You dont follow many comedians do you?
People have been trying to predict a fight from “how a fighter looks or acts” - from lead up to walk in - ever since the UFC began. It’s never actually predictive. It’s all ad hoc reasoning once a fight is over.
Sometimes the fidgety nervous jittery looking guy wins, sometimes the calm, cool, collected confident looking guy.
You could select tons of clips showing how nuts Conor was before Aldo. He won. Same with before Khabib. He lost. Doesn’t predict anything.
Same for trying to predict Dustin.
Dustin looking like Tommy verceti in that outfit. Ready to kill a mother fucker.
The magic is lost when a great fighter gets beat down a few times in a short span… Conor looked too human in his last fight. He’s basically a boxer now and is predictable as hell
I didn’t make it 10 minutes into the press conference— boring as fuck… it doesn’t help that Poirier isn’t exactly oozing charisma …
You need people to throw shit and act like a spoiled brat to have charisma?
Drugged out comedians were notorious for tanking their careers putting on bad shows.
Hedberg was terrible the last year or two for instance.
Dustin looked really nervous in that interview and didn’t look good in his face either, bad cut? Idk, seems off
Conor has never been the smartest guy in the room , Incredibly talented but behaves like a petulant child at times.
Nothing new here.
He’s a .500 fighter for the last 5 years. He must know he can’t back it up any more.
During thr Khabib conference wasnt he resorting to just screaming and making noises.
Landed a knee and a head kick vs Cowboy…lol
Conor is taking the Dustin fight b/c it’s his quickest way to another title shot ($$$) and there’s already a built-in storyline/drama.
Conor also just got fined who knows how much money for that shirt
I think numbers are great, its conor, people will buy this shit, anw press conference look terrible and pathetic
Zero fight gear on, Dana didn’t look happy haha
Yup, people went all in on that shit for the last Dustin Connor fight. It’s the most overrated thing. That said, just for 2 cents, I think Dustin looks calm and confidant…he said he wasn’t enjoying the quarantined stay at Abu Dhabi last time and just turned on fight time. Connor was on a roll leading into Aldo and Eddie but the Khabib build up looked desperate. This does too although that doesn’t mean all the technical stuff is out the door. Connor is still a dangerous striker…he just needs to elevate his game from last time obviously.
Think he is? Wasn’t he the overall highest paid athlete in 2020? Like more than soccer players and shit?
